Arthritis, migraines, and back pain are common chronic conditions that lead individuals to seek relief through medication, surgery, or treatments like chiropractic care.

What Causes Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is a term used to describe any pain that lasts more than three months. It can be “on” and “off” or continuous, meaning it may fluctuate in intensity or persist steadily over time.
While chronic pain has mostly been shown to affect older adults aged 45-64 (~25%) and 65 and older (~30%)2, it can impact individuals of all ages. This persistent pain often interferes with their daily lives, including the ability to work, eat properly, engage in physical activity, practice self-care, and enjoy personal and social fulfillment.
Here are a few health conditions and external factors that can contribute to chronic pain:
Arthritis is a condition where inflammation damages the joints, often leading to discomfort and stiffness. Over time, the breakdown of cartilage and joint tissue can limit mobility and make everyday movements more challenging.
Sciatica is caused by the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, often from a herniated disc or muscle tightness. This leads to radiating pain, tingling, or numbness from the lower back to the legs.
Neuropathy happens when peripheral nerves are damaged, often due to conditions like diabetes or physical injury. This damage interferes with the nerves’ ability to send signals properly, leading to symptoms like pain, tingling, or numbness.
Muscle strains and injuries occur from overuse, trauma, or tears in the muscle fibers. These injuries cause inflammation and damage at the cellular level, which can lead to pain and reduced function.
Poor posture causes imbalances in muscle function and joint alignment, placing stress on tissues over time. This leads to inflammation, restricted blood flow, and oxidative damage, which can result in chronic pain and stiffness if left unaddressed.

How Red Light Therapy Works for Pain Relief
Red light therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) targets pain on a cellular level, providing a safe and effective alternative to medications and invasive surgeries.
Here’s how red and near-infrared light help with pain management:
- Reduces Inflammation: Red and near-infrared light penetrate deep into tissues to calm inflammation and reduce oxidative stress. Since inflammation is a primary driver of pain, this provides relief for conditions like arthritis, joint pain, and muscle soreness.3
- Boost Cellular Energy: Red light therapy boosts mitochondrial function, increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This boost in cellular energy supports faster tissue repair and helps restore function to damaged areas. 4
- Improves Circulation: Red light therapy improves blood circulation which helps your body deliver oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues. This helps your body accelerate healing, reduce swelling, and alleviate pain. 5
